Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 01/23/2015 --Equestrian horses need to maintain their health to fully function and perform well. However, just like humans, they are also susceptible to conditions that negatively affect joint health. Many concerned owners and trainers are now turning to glucosamine supplements as a natural alternative believed to be effective in helping horses maintain joint health.

According to recent studies, equestrian horses have been improving their mobility and performance with the use of glucosamine. Horse owners and veterinarians even believe that horses with sore and irritated joints have experienced significant relief from the pain and dysfunction of deteriorating joint health.

"Horses are highly susceptible to developing inflammation, arthritis and bone spavin. Sadly, this normally takes place during the early stages of their lives," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan. "Glucosamine is becoming a popular natural option to strengthen the joint cartilage of young horses or ponies."

Experts for animal healthcare believe that joint cartilage stiffening is one of the common parts of the aging process in horses that can significantly impair their mobility. This stiffness also results in pain, soreness and swelling in the joint regions. Horses have synovial liquid around their bones that help lubricate their joints and prevent friction. Unfortunately, the synovial liquid levels also decrease as a horse ages.

Certain undesirable consequences take place when the synovial liquid levels start to reduce. It can lead to mobility problems such as osteoporosis, joint dislocations and arthritis. Glucosamine is believed to be very effective in replenishing the synovial fluid in the joints, as well as providing better joint cartilage regeneration and improvement in mobility.

A reputable veterinarian named Dr. Christine King conducted a study that observed 10 adult competition horses as subjects. These horses suffered from pain in their hocks and were given glucosamine for 8 years. It was found that the horses had experienced less need for hock injections after they start taking glucosamine. It was also found that they demonstrated some significant improvements in their performance during competitions.

Many equestrian horse owners and veterinarians believe that glucosamine has therapeutic benefits that can help improve joint health and mobility in horses. Horses that consumed glucosamine were believed to have experienced improvements in their stride length and flexion grade test. Due to the increasing popularity of glucosamine supplements, more horse owners are relying on the natural alternative to increase their horse's protection against joint damage http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/ie=UTF8?&m=A3OG9DHZ3GI58O&keywords=glucosamine
